Build-a-Burger Steps

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Season the beef patty on both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the beef patty on the grill or skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness.

    Spread the secret sauce on the cut surface of the bottom bun.

  5. 5

    Place the cooked beef patty on the sauced bottom bun.

  6. 6

    If you chose the extra cheese topping, place a cheese slice on the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  7. 7

    Add lettuce on top of the patty (and melted cheese, if present) for crunch and moisture.

  8. 8

    Top with tomato slices.

  9. 9

    Add pickle slices on top of the tomatoes.

  10. 10

    Cap with the top bun to complete the base burger.

  11. 11

    Add any chosen extra toppings from the add-ons list above, with each topping costing $2, and press gently to secure.

  12. 12

    Serve immediately with your BYOB beverage.
